Hi I am new on this board.... thank you for accept. I live at the Netherlands. My hobbies are embroidery and readig... most historical stories.  Last week we had an amazing weekend with a lot of spectaculair airshows.  The Northern lights.  For years I am searching to get a nice picture of the lights for a cross-stitchpattern. Now I found 3 of them . So happy found your website to make 1 by myself. All I have to do now is pick out 1, grab the yarn, fabric and start. Happy, greetings Thijsse

Floppypenguin,
Welcome! Smile
Thank you for your kind words! Kiss
Have you tried the option where you can check "antialias on" in #8?


Hi everyone ! 
Nice to be here. I was wondering if anyone could help me with making a crochet graph pattern? I get the wizard to work alright but it turns out bigger than i want each square, does that mean my picture is too big? If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Krysta

Shaleigh,
You've definitely done quite a bit more...fantastic! Kiss Especially considering you had less time.
How kind of you to help your dad renovate! Kiss Is it more cosmetic work or major repairs?
LOL, sigh, there's no end to the amount of repairs that must be done here. The house is old (late 1800s) and it was pretty much abused in the 1980s, when a guy destroyed whatever he could. After that it was owned by a family who tried to do their own repairs but didn't know what they were doing.
This year a roofing job is in the plans, in addition to a few other things. It's very slow and since so many repairs needed are major (plumbing, electrical, etc) it's going to be done over several years.
Oh, yes, big patches of solid color take forever! Soooo many stitches. And then the color changes, ouch! All worth it in the end, though. Kiss
Honestly, I suggest just being as neat as you want to. I spent several years trying to make the back look as good as the front. Undecided It drove me insane. It stemmed from when an acquaintance - without asking! - turned my work over and then made a rude comment about the thread ends. Thereafter I was always obsessed with how the back looked. It really took some of the joy out of stitching.
Now I think that if you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Kiss If someone complains that it's messy, let THEM stitch it for you. Laughing LOL.


This turned out so well! Kiss

Love how the virus stitch looks as an edging! It makes the design pop without taking attention away from the focal point. Kiss

Thank you for posting...love this one, too!
